Mather, Mrs. Henry Leimbach, Mrs. John Ludwlg and Mrs. A. J. Cooper, members of the Amherst Garden club, working on the landscaping of the library yard Landscaping of the Amherst Library yard was started Monday when seven members of the Garden club turned out with m equipment, plants and a will to ; make it a beauty spot before the summer is gone. The trees had been pruned and branches hauled away on the preceding Saturday so that Monday afternoon was spent in raking the yard and planting shrubs qnd trees. Hosta lilies were planted around the base of the library, five dogwood trees ij were set in the yard and two ' euonomyus, a creeping shrub which produces berries, were start .ear the large grindstone in the corner of the lot. Several evergreens were also placed near the stone. The women also cleaned up the rubV;'sh vj'fi had accumulated in the yard. Members worked again Tuesday night. Samples of the soil fj were taken to be analyzed in order to determine if . liming is needed. The Garden club has worked on the library yard for a number of years but this year the things to be done are more extensive than at any previous time. Serving on the committee to organize the work are Mrs. Ralph m Prittie, Mrs. John Ludwig, Mrs. ' Henry Leimbach, Mrs. Henry Grugcl and Mrs. A. P. Roth. HARVEY CHAMBERS TO MAYO CLINIC MAY 29 Harvey Chambers who applied last week for admittance to the Mayo Clinic for treatment of eczema has been given the date of May 29 unless an opening occurs before that time. Skip Ward Writes EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is from a letter received at the News-Times office from Gordon "Skip" Ward, a recent recruit in the army, giving his impressions of the induction services and the first few days in the army. This is the report of a civilian after three full days of army life. We shall attempt to make it as objective and informative as possible so that it may serve as a guide for parents and future soldiers. We were sworn in at the Cleveland induction center last Thursday afternoon and then released until evening. That gave us about two hours in which to get a good meal and make some phone calls. At 9 p.m. we entrained for Fort George Meade everyone in a private berth for the last time during army careers, no doubt. For many of the youngsters it wns their first train ride of any length and there wore mixed reactions to k'he job of undressing in a berth. 'Hie swaying train took its toll in uneasy stomachs and some of the group of 30 looked pretty green in the gills when breakfast call went out at 7 o'clock. During the night our two cars of draftees had been connected to three others so we had a high class troop train In one sense of the word. A 15-minute stop in the Washington terminal $ards afforded a view of the stately Washington monument 'and the gleaming White House dome. When we pulled into Meade 7 Annual Spring Band Concert Is Scheduled for Friday Evening, May 4 The eighth annual Amherst spring band concert sponsored by the band mothers will be given at the high school Friday evening, May 4, beginning at 8 o'clock, according to an an nouncement made by Miss Sarah Miner, music instructor.

Miss Miner announced that there are no patron tickets this year and those wishing to attend should contact a band member or one of the band mothers. Tickets may also be purchased at the door. Support of the town will be greatly appreciated. of First Days as Draftee in Army it was somewhat more than surprising to hear the strains of an army drum and bugle corps. As we straggling civilians stepped off the platform and bade farewell to the hard-working porters, the corps struck up "This is the Army, Mr. Jones," and indeed it was for the Mssrs. Jones, Sinktiewitch, Brown, Schmaltz, Ward and many others. Right there the festive atmosphere ended and traditional military routine tnnk over. Briefly, here is what has transpired to date: We have been assigned serial numbers, issued clothing (winter and summer enough to fill a duffel bag), we have taken numerous aptitude tests some snaps and some pretty tough; we have had the necessary amounts of clothing pressed and we have spent innumerable hours standing in seemingly motionless lines. All this is accomplished in the long day which begins at 4:30 in the j morning and ends at 10 that eve ning, the last five hours of which are designated as free time. Many of the "youngsters" are complaining about the fond. However we soon discovered they have never eaten any but home cooking so they- have no logical basis for comparison. I have found the quality of the food far above that of the average restaurant and there is always more than enough. The hardest thing for everyone is to take orders which seem silly and stupid from anon-commissioned officer who might be likewise described. It's all part of the game, however, and the AMHERST, King Reads of Local Club in Texas Paper Pvt. Gerald King who vifited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Peters, Park avenue, recently, reported reading about the Lions club organization banquet here, while in camp at Peterson Field at Colorado Springs, Coio. King happened to pick up a paper from Amherst, Texas, and was surprised to see the account of the Amherst (Ohio) Lions club. It seems that the Texas club had sent congratulations to the local group and the fact was recorded in their paper. This was King's first leave and he has now returned to camp. , Senior Band Members Are Treated to Cleveland Trip, Lunch, Studio Tours A trip to Cleveland which included lunch followed by a tour of a radio and television studio was the reward given 48 Amherst senior band members this week by the Band Mothers for their year's work of playing for football and basketball games, rallies, three concerts and daily rehearsals.Following their arrival in Cleveland the group had lunch at Stauffer's restaurant and then went to the NBC studios where they toured both the radio and television departments. During their tour of WNBK they watched the Haley Dailey show at which time Tom Haley interviewed Miss Miner, Sonia Nylen and Alan Buell for his sooner a fellow learns to make the best of it, the sooner he'll be able to acclimate himself. Sunday found the two chapels in the receiving area filled to capacity at duplicate and triplicate services. Since many at us missed the morning services by standing in line three hours for a press job on our dress uniforms, we attended the regular evening vespers and thereby felt a tie with home through a medium found in all walks of life, civilian and military the bond of worship. A word of warning to the fellows of draft age: The first day here demands a lot of walking from one remote spot to another. All this is done with luggage in hand, so the lighter you travel, the easier the first day will be. Since this is merely a processing center, troops are usually here less than a week before being moved on to another enmp for basiu training. Still to come is the initial army haircut (the peeling of the onion), and the shots not many and not painful. Doubtless there are other details of our processing of which we have not yet been apprised but the foregoing pretty Well covers our immediate future.There are many minor points we have omitted to conserve space, but we trust the above paragraphs will give parents and future draftees an objective insight into the transition period from civilian life. Sincerely and wearily, "Skip" OHIO, FRIDAY, APRIL New Girl Scouts To Register at Rec on May 7 Mrs. G. R.

Anii! 30, applications avj being sought for a new director to take over the responsible job of supervising Amherst yo'ith activities. Mrs. Ruth Seluilz co-director, has assisted her husb ind in the guidance work, and both have helped immeasi-'-ibh' in bringing the paid rr"vpbprshio up to its present figii'-e of 190 teenagers, in the 12-20 age group representing junior high and hifjh school students. Schulz is resigning because of lack of time to devote to the center. The youngsters have been given a free hand in planning their own recreation and the success of this plan has been marked by the large attendance, averaging around 130, on the evenings they are open. Under the present setup, the hall is open from 7:30 to 10 on Monday evenings, and 7:30 to 11 on Fridays and Saturdays. Dancing is enjoyed from 9 to ! 1 Fridays and Saturdays, the music being furnished bv an orchestra made up of members.

Nancy Mollison with a flute solo and the brass sextet coin-posed of Jean Schroeder, Herbert Reis, Lauretta Borowicz. Donald Woodings, Sonia Nylen and Richard Slack both received ratings of excellent, while Dagny Nylen obtained a rating of very good on her clarinet solo. Those attending the contest from Amherst in addition to the contestants and Miss Sarah Miner were Mrs. C. F. Schroeder. Mrs. Felix Borowicz, Mrs. Herman Short, Mr. and Mrs. Irving Mollison, Mrs. Evert Nylen. Miss Florence Ehrman, Ted Short, Ar. thur Engle, Jr. and Carol Mollison.Students Sponsor Paper Drive A paper drive will be sponsored by the student council of the high school tomorrow (Saturday). The students will be collecting all day and ask that residents place their bundles of paper at the front of the houses. Anyone having a large amount of paper may call the school today (Friday) and leave their address.Profits from the drive will go into the athletic fund, according to La Donna Huey, student council president. Perlect spellers and high honor students from St. Joseph's parochial school for the past six weeks are as follows: Grade Two: Francis Goiwk. F;:rl K.iiiicy. Kay George, Leona Iiior and S intra Weaver. Grade Thtv.i: Joanne Zvvntek Grade Foiu: Germaine Fuhr-i.ian. Domvi Raincy. Kathleen K irn-.'.v ai d !!e'en Syrowski. Grade Five: Jane D.rozdowski.

' -A VV d 'J and contests are conducted at other times, with proper facilities i.nd space provided. There are four tables for ping pong in the main hall, a smaller game room, and a snack bar. The director is consulted on various projects, and takes care of detail work, but the actual planning is done by the students themselves. The requirements of a director are mostly time and interest in working with teen-agers, keeping them occupied, guided when needed. Anyone interested in applying should contact any member of the board of directors. These are Mrs. Robert Choate, president; Stanlev Reichert, vice-president; Mary Zuspan, seeietarv-treasur-er; Dr. C. H. Snell. i,Ii.;,i Brainerd. Mrs. Fred Tabbert. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Prucha. Seth Stevens, Charles Edwards. Harold Washka and James Schulz. Mrs. Choate stated that .the Center will continue on schedule, with members of the board assisting in supervision, until a new director is appointed. The Rec has established an enviable record in the eight years it has been in existence. Manv organizations of its kind have dwmdled out completely due to lack of interest on the Dart of either the teen-agers themselves or their parents, or both. The Center was incorporated a little over three years ago when the hall was pusthased outright. Operating funds ere made available with the passing of a creation levy in connection v i'h school allocations. Last fall the rooms were comDletelv re decorated, and additional equipment and materials are added from time to time. The date of the initial opening of the Recreation Center was Sept. 1, 1943, following a summer ot joint activity on the part of many youngsters and adults who helped in redecorating the former Eagles Hall. Wayne Heller was largely responsible for putting the idea across to members of the fire department, who sponsored the project. Stanley Reichert was named the first director, and he maintained that position until three e os ago when Dick Prucha assumed the responsibility. All di rectors hn'e l.'sn assisted their wives. by Other member- of the rviginal board wore Dr. C. II. Sne'l. Rev. Harold Diehl. Rev. F: Ja-nes H. c!m:h Kei'h X'Vhcn, Hay Jew-itt. Seth E. Stevens.

' -A VV d 'J and contests are conducted at other times, with proper facilities i.nd space provided. There are four tables for ping pong in the main hall, a smaller game room, and a snack bar. The director is consulted on various projects, and takes care of detail work, but the actual planning is done by the students themselves. The requirements of a director are mostly time and interest in working with teen-agers, keeping them occupied, guided when needed. Anyone interested in applying should contact any member of the board of directors. These are Mrs. Robert Choate, president; Stanlev Reichert, vice-president; Mary Zuspan, seeietarv-treasur-er; Dr. C. H. Snell. i,Ii.;,i Brainerd. Mrs. Fred Tabbert. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Prucha. Seth Stevens, Charles Edwards. Harold Washka and James Schulz. Mrs. Choate stated that .the Center will continue on schedule, with members of the board assisting in supervision, until a new director is appointed. The Rec has established an enviable record in the eight years it has been in existence. Manv organizations of its kind have dwmdled out completely due to lack of interest on the Dart of either the teen-agers themselves or their parents, or both. The Center was incorporated a little over three years ago when the hall was pusthased outright. Operating funds ere made available with the passing of a creation levy in connection v i'h school allocations. Last fall the rooms were comDletelv re decorated, and additional equipment and materials are added from time to time. The date of the initial opening of the Recreation Center was Sept. 1, 1943, following a summer ot joint activity on the part of many youngsters and adults who helped in redecorating the former Eagles Hall. Wayne Heller was largely responsible for putting the idea across to members of the fire department, who sponsored the project. Stanley Reichert was named the first director, and he maintained that position until three e os ago when Dick Prucha assumed the responsibility.
